Michigan Friday: Basketball Class Locked?

Juwan Howard had a very good first class, it was almost great.  That is the life if your going to recruit 5 star's and not named Duke or UK.  With the G-League now offering an NBA development program and $500K, recruiting a ton of these guys is going to be a fools errand.

The 2020 Class:

  • Hunter Dickinson C 7'2 255 #32 player in the nation 
  • Zeb Jackson PG/SG 6'2 160 #69 player
  • Terrance Williams F 6'6 215 #86 player 
  • Jace Howard F 6'8 210 #351 player 
The latest news is Hunter has signed and Jace is now a scholarship player.  So Juwan just got a raise. 🙂

Is the 2020 class completely done?  Probably, there are two Hail Mary's that could still happen.   5 Star Greg Brown has yet to commit anywhere and might be headed to either Texas or G-League.  I wouldn't hold my breath on this one.   Another one with a low probability is 4 star Illinois SG commit Adam Miller who is close to Juwan due to his Chicago connections.  Adam has not signed yet.  

  • DD is transferring to Cincinnati, good luck to him and enjoy the Skyline Chili. 

  • Former Michigan recruit USC QB JT Daniels has entered the transfer portal.   I don't see him interested in the Wolverines crowded QB room.

As for JT Daniels, I saw a tweet from Sam Webb the other day about it. When I saw it, there were about 40 comments. There wasn't one comment in favor of pursuing and accepting a potential JT Daniels transfer. In other words, it was a unanimous NO THANKS!
